The CEBPA gene, a myeloid transcription factor, is mutated in a subset of acute myeloid leukemia (AML), particularly those with chromosome analyses showing normal diploid karyotype, Cytogenetically Normal (CN). CN-AML that have CEBPA mutations show favorable outcome compared to other groups of CN-AML. Testing for CEBPA mutation, along with NPM1 (16158 test code) and FLT3 mutations (test code 90574) is recommended for all patients with CN-AML.
